Family Matters...

I wanted to write this blog because one word comes to mind when I think about my family....BLESSED! I know that I have a family that is supportive and always there for you. Fortunately, I was raised to be able to talk with my mother about anything and never keep things inside. This single gesture has turned me into the woman that I am today. Out-spoken, compassionate, and always having that "gut instict" to help others. A psychic told me in a recent reading....

1st off I hope its fine to say, but the spirits want me to let you
know your dreams will come true. The reason im asaying this is because
I was shown darknes and light at the same time. For some reason feels
like theres a constant power struggle goign on day by day between the
light and dark within you. The spirits really want you to lighten up
on yourself and give yourself a break as you adn them both now you
deserive to be a mother. Now im not saying it isnt heartbreaking I
know it is from personal experience, but the spirits are insistent
about you giving yourself love and care for a change instead of
everyone else around you for a change. Its wonderful you are naturally
someone that gives and gives, but feels like this year is all about
returning that to you. Again hope this is fine to bring up.

When I read that I was a bit taken back because I am a "Leo" and someone that loves to give. I will admit that I get it from my mother because she has and always be a "giver." She selflessly has given and continues to give anything and everything to her children even though they are now 27 and 31 respectively. ;) The psychic mentioned that I need to let others take care of me for a change but I don't see how that could happen. I love to be the one who lets others know that I am "thinking" about them or haven't "forgotten" about them. I want others to know that they have touched me in some way and I will always carry that with me. With that being said, I want to share a poem with you by E.E. Cummings called "I Carry Your Heart with Me". This is for my mother and sister...


i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)



Every single day, I carry your heart in my heart!!! Recently, I was truly blessed to "add" to my family. I now how a husband and two step-children that only add joy to my life. I am able to be there for them, support them, and take care of them as they help take care of me! But I will never forget how I learned to be that woman that I am.....I learned that from my mother and sister. ((HUGS))
